You are making an assumption that the list of constants is known.Originally Posted by scalerobotics
Seems kind of futile, searching for characters in a known constant that is already pre-programmed into the chip. Shouldn't you already know where they are?
Too bad:
I only used the example of "mississippi" as I was unable (by definition) to give the contents of an unknown $tring as an example. It seems that LOOKDOWN, although useful for conversion to decimal, is unsuitable for scanning a string (list) of uncertain contents, where duplication may occur - as would happen with field separators. (Thanks, Bruce).
I don't see any futility.
Why do you say "Too bad" ?
